However, I noticed that the timestamp changes during a BPM/tempo change and it shows the wrong time (which would be correct only if the track was entirely made with that tempo). I know that coding and programming are usually a "pain in the ass", and I probably could fix it if I were more skilled in Max/MSP, but I'm a newbie and don't want to touch things that I can surely break because of lack of knowledge. I also can't learn all the stuff behind this timer in a day and have to study for university.
By the way, I would love to hear good news about this device when somebody finally fixes it and tells me the reason of this problem and the way it got repaired.
Best regards :)
